About the GABC

The German American Business Council is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to assisting German and American companies. Based in Washington DC, the GABC serves its corporate and individual members not only in the greater Washington area but also in other US states and Germany. Since its founding as an initiative of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2004, the organization has increased its membership steadily. It’s members hold senior positions in their respective companies.

GABC is one of the prime organizations where members from both countries can meet, exchange their views and get together with key business and political leaders from both sides of the Atlantic.

"Bringing together business leaders from both sides of the Atlantic is what makes the GABC such a valuable and trusted bridge builder."

—Dr. Klaus Scharioth, Former German Ambassador

It is not only GABC’s goal to help its members to succeed economically in their particular fields by trying to collect and exchange expertise in all areas of bi-lateral trade and business, but its members are also enjoying a great variety of program events addressing economical and political issues as well as opportunities to get together socially.

GABC’s continuous growth and expansion has made it a reliable and influential German-American institution in the greater Washington area.
